首届中国壮剧文化艺术节在广西田林举行

人民网田林5月23日电(记者庞革平)5月23日晚,首届中国壮剧文化艺术节在“中国壮剧之乡”——广西壮族自治区百色市田林县隆重开幕。来自滇、黔、桂三省区的30多个壮剧团将在这里举行长达5天的壮剧展演,将展演《孔雀东南飞》、《女附马》等40多个壮剧传统剧目,让广大壮剧迷共享壮剧文化盛宴。 据了解,古老而独具魅力的壮剧艺术,是我国少数民族文化的一朵奇葩。壮剧又叫“壮戏”,是在壮族民间文学、歌舞和说唱技艺的基础上发展而成的。由于地域环境、方言土语、音乐唱腔、表演风格及伴奏乐器的差异,产生了广西的北路壮剧、南路壮剧、壮族师公戏以及云南的富宁壮剧、广南壮剧等分支。2006年,壮剧入选首批国家非物质文化遗产保护名录。 北路壮剧诞生于乾隆三十年,起源于广西田林县旧州镇,上演剧目有300多个,多数为壮族创编剧目,内容涵盖社会的方方面面,一些优秀剧目曾获自治区及全国奖。2007至2009年,田林县曾连续三年成功举办壮剧文化艺术节,吸引了海内外众多专家学者和广大壮剧爱好者的积极参与。2009年,田林县被中国少数民族戏剧学会授予“中国壮剧之乡”荣誉称号后,以“北路壮剧的发源地”为旗帜,提出了“保护为主、抢救第一、合理利用、传承发展”的保护与发展思路,为保护、传承、弘扬这一优秀传统文化,活跃少数民族地区文化,促进各民族和谐发展作出了积极贡献。
